History
Moriyama-Jieitai-Mae Station was opened on April 2, 1905, as Rentai -Mae Station (聯隊前駅, Rentai-Mae-eki) on the privately operated Seto Electric Railway. It was named after its location in front of an Imperial Japanese Army base occupied by the IJA 33rd Infantry Regiment of the IJA 3r d Division. The Seto Electric Railway was absorbed into the Meitetsu group on September 1, 1939, and the station was renamed Nijakenya Station (二十軒家駅, Nijakenya-eki) on February 10, 1941, for security reasons. It was again renamed to Moriyama-machi Station (守山町, Moriyama-machi-eki) on June 1, 1946, and Moriyama-shi Station (守山市, Moriyama-shi-eki) on February 1, 1955. It assumed its present name on March 15, 1966. A new station building was completed on March 24, 1984. The station has been unattended after August 2006. The Tranpass system of magnetic fare cards with automatic turnstiles was implemented in 2012.
